What About Colostrum for Children?

Laboratory of Colostrum Research
Many babies today are not breast fed even in the first critical few days. They have no source of colostrum unless they are given a supplement, since no milk or baby formula contains this important substance. Infants, with a developing immune system, are vulnerable to bacteria and virus infections. They also need stimulation to many basic metabolic processes necessary during their rapid growth and their entry into the world outside the protective immunity of the mothers womb.

Question: Can children take colostrum?

FAQ for ITG
Answer: Children, especially those who were not breast fed, can benefit greatly from colostrum. They will need considerably less than adults depending on age and health (anywhere from 200-2000 mg/day). Colostrum may be very helpful for children where viral or bacterial infections linger or recur. The same is true for adults. Most children (and adults) can be helped at the onset of a cold by giving them colostrum until the symptoms disappear.

CAN COLOSTRUM HELP WITH MY DEPRESSION?

Bovine Colostrum Information: Center for Nutritional Researc...
Most of us are in search of a means to increase the brain's feel-good chemicals, serotonin and dopamine. To accomplish this, we look to nicotine, drugs and certain (usually unhealthy and fattening) foods. We begin to rely on these substances to maintain that 'feel-good' sensation. Colostrum is a natural and healthy means of stimulating the brain to release serotonin and dopamine and prolong their re-uptake. Lactalbumin in colostrum has been clinically proven to improve mood during stress.
